[English]

La la

Floating ships every day

This pain

Feels so lonely in this city

A wish as clear as glass

Q, still a long journey ahead

Leaning slightly on the familiar oil well plan

You must’ve forgotten me

Just one strand left

But the surface remains untouched

Let’s love, babe, it’s been a long time

Rest gently in my arms

Your smiling cheeks

Falalilalullai I look

Falling into the loop again, Bev can’t stop

Am back, am back, am back

I’m back in town

The heavy fog lifts from the village

Catch the blue stars riding the wind

My long-brewed nostalgia, Bev knows

Familiar yet not new

The key clicks, clinking softly

Keep gazing into me

Zoom on and on and on and on

Now I understand—you make me breathe

I’ll live here forever

You do that, yes I can

Let’s love, babe, it’s been a long time

Rest gently in my arms, your smiling face

...

Falalilalullai I look

Falling into the loop again, Bev can’t stop

Am back, am back, am back

I’m back in town

The heavy fog lifts from the village

Catch the blue stars riding the wind

My long-brewed nostalgia, Bev can’t stop

...

[Korean]

야야

매일 뜬 섬쉽

아픈 걸

이 도시엔 참 외로워

낯창만 한 위시를

큐, 아직 멀고긴 여해

익숙한 계획이 오일 텔 살짝 기대 해

날 잊었을걸

한 뭉치만

겉을 머리 맑은데 그대로네

Let's love babe it's been along time

내 품에 잘 구면

웃는 관저기

Falalilalullai ilook

잘 루파에 빠다여 베브 안 박

암 백 암 백 암 백

I'm back in town

뉴슴마을 뫔이 가벼워 져

바람이 있는 푸른 풀별을 붙잡고 쳐라

오래 그린 나의 향수약 베브 안다

익숙한 듯 새롭지

키가 홀짝 카발했지

계속 들여다만 줘

Zoom on and on and on and on

이젠 알 것 같아 넌 나를 숨쉬게 해

영원히 여기 살래

You do that, Yes I can

Let's love babe it's been along time

내 품에 잘 구면 웃는 반저기

Falalilalullai ilook

잘 루파에 빠다여 베브 안 박

암 백 암 백 암 백

I'm back in town

뉴슴마을 뫔이 가벼워 져

바람이 있는 푸른 풀별을 붙잡고 쳐라

오래 그린 나의 향수약 베브 안 박
